Le Mazel
Cuvée Les Lèches 2024

Ripe and textural with layers of tropical fruits, spices and a bright mineral backbone from the limestone. This year the wine is dry and clear-cut, with smoky peaches, herby fennel, aniseed and zesty citrus oils coaxed out by the southern heat. A nourishing country wine with plenty of Mazel soul.

La Vrille et le Papillon
Q Blanc 2024

Lithe and lean this year and heavy on the yellow citrus, there is the raw attack of freshly squeezed lemon with something more oily and pithy to soften the edges. As ever, this is infused with their trademark herbal bay laurel character and the low finished alcohol lends a tonic quality. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Charbonniéres 2022

Demi-sec Chardonnay that is textured, vinous, and heaves with sweet/sour citrus fruit. A mean foil to fiery Southeast Asian dishes; the residual sugar really comes into its own in this context. A particularly wild Mazel vintage. Find out more.
